Two people broke into the Mane House Salon in South Burlington in the overnight hours of Monday into Tuesday, ransacking the inside of the business and taking a marked donation jar of money collected to buy wigs for children battling cancer, South Burlington police said Tuesday.

A surveillance video released by the South Burlington Police Department shows two individuals wearing what appear to be bandannas over their faces carrying flashlights, rummaging through drawers, closets and papers.

Police are attempting to identify the two people and are asking for the public's help.

The business owner discovered Tuesday morning that the salon at 3097 Williston Road had been vandalized when she saw one of the windows had been broken. When police arrived, they found the business had been burglarized, police stated in a news release.

The suspects damaged multiple windows and ransacked the business. The donation jar was the only money stolen, police said. Detective Ron Bliss said in an email that nothing else was taken and the amount of money in the donation jar has not been determined.

Police urge those with information about the investigation to contact Detective Cpl. Andrew Johnson at 846-4217 or ajohnson@southburlingtonpolice.org.
